Sleeping is important,and we all know that.Many people have experienced strange sleeping patterns,weird （奇怪的） dreams and a feeling of restlessness and tiredness despite a good night's sleep.So what sort of things can help you to improve your sleep？
There are a lot of myths related to sleep,some of which can be quite damaging for our health.Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher famously claimed that she only slept for five hours a night.But according to experts,this is harmful to health.Likewise,sleeping in front of the TV is another thing to avoid.The bright lights can prevent you from entering a deep sleep.
From a young age we're told to count sheep to help us to fall asleep,with some choosing to stay in bed to battle with insomnia.However,some experts advise getting up and doing something mindless,like folding socks,to help us get in the mood to fall asleep.
Psychologist Seth J.Gillihan PhD recommends walking to help in the battle against the issue.He talks about a sleep study published in the journal Sleep Health which suggests that those who walk slightly more will experience better quality and length of sleep.Watching what you eat or drink can also improve the amount of rapid eye movement you experience.
If you're a snorer（打鼾者），you might also want to take note.While most snoring is harmless,it could be a sign of sleep apnoea （室息），with people suffering from the condition more likely to have heart attacks,irregular heartbeats or high blood pressure.
Finally,a good nap（小睡），or even a power nap,can help you to be more alert,calm and focused.So while there are some good tips like exercising or folding socks to help us get a good night's sleep,sometimes a good afternoon's sleep can help us face the day ahead.
